Footrests
Never rest your feet on the footrest when transferring to and from the wheelchair; excessive weight on the footrest may damage it and harm the occupant.
After each operation, check the footrest is always in the correct operating position.
Dual footrests are less resistant than the single version and they are therefore not suitable for occupants subject to strong spasms and/or contractions.
Depending on
the occupant’s needs, the wheelchair can be provided wi
th either of the above footrest versions.
Single footrests are more rigid than the dual versions and they are recommended for occupants subject to frequent spasms or who apply a
lot of force to the footrest.
All footrests, except those with automatic closure, when raised, enable the occupants to rest their feet on the ground more easily, especially
when transferring to and from the wheelchair.
Flipping up the footrest is a very easy operation you can perform with one hand by pulling the footrest plate upward.
To put the footrest back to the operating position, just push it down and, for a single footrest, make sure it locks in the support arm as
indicated for each type of footrest.
In the order form, according to the type of footrest, you can choose its position (internal, external or intermediate).
DUAL FOOTREST
Make sure both footrests are fully lowered before using the wheelchair.
SINGLE FLIP-UP ALUMINIUM FOOTREST
Make sure that the locking pin
A
is properly inserted in the recess
of support
B
.
